Our Community and Champion Fighters
A look at the spirit, discipline, and hard work that define our school. From the tournament podium to our daily open-air training sessions, this is who we are.
We believe in testing our skills at the highest level. Here you see one of our black belt coaches, Vinod, executing a precise high kick during a competitive kickboxing bout. This level of technical skill and composure under pressure is what we instill in all our students.
Our founder and head coach, Ashwin Naidu, leads from the front, not the sidelines. This is him competing in the 6th Bengaluru Open MMA Championship, demonstrating the effectiveness of our mixed martial arts training program inside the cage.
We are immensely proud of our female fighters. Here, our student Shobha stands on the winner's podium after securing a medal at the Open Bengaluru MMA Championship. Our women's boxing and combat sports programs are designed to build confidence, strength, and self-defense skills.
Success is a team effort. Here, our founder Master Ashwin and senior coach Rajith Kumar celebrate with a student after a victory at the Golden Mongkhon Muay Thai Tournament. This reflects our core philosophy of mentorship and shared achievement.
Our training philosophy extends beyond combat sports. We congratulate our student Lakshmi on her impressive 2nd place finish at the Kaveri Trail Marathon. This showcases how our holistic approach to physical fitness builds endurance for any challenge.
Age is no barrier to strength and determination at our school. We celebrate T D Ramalingam, who at 49, continues to compete and inspire everyone. His journey, overcoming physical challenges through dedicated boxing training, proves what is possible with perseverance.
Our school is built on the spirit of our students. This custom logo, featuring photos of our members and designed by one of our black belts, represents the strong community and family we have built together over the past two decades.
About Featured
We do not coach from the sidelines. Every instructor you see here is an active competitor, testing the same techniques in the ring that we teach in our open-air Koramangala dojo. Whether you are aiming for a black belt or your first marathon finish, you are training alongside a team that pushes its own physical limits every single day.
Training That Stands the Test of Time
For over 25 years, our methodology has stayed true: we build fighters and people simultaneously. Our curriculum moves beyond just hitting pads; it includes Muay Thai, BJJ, MMA, and traditional martial arts like Taekwondo. We focus on the 'why' behind every movement.
Why Our Community is Different
We believe martial arts is for everyone. It is not just about the elite athletes; it is about the student who overcomes physical limitations to find new strength. Whether it is a 55-year-old earning their black belt or a beginner learning their first self-defense strike, our training environment is structured to support every individual pace.
Lead by Example
Our coaches, including myself, are actively competing. When you train with us, you are learning from practitioners who are currently testing their skills in the Golden Mongkhon Championship, Open Bengaluru MMA circuits, and national-level boxing tournaments. We bring that real-world experience back to our regular batches at St. Francis High School.
Join the Discipline
- Programs: We offer specialized batches for women, fitness-focused yoga, and intense combat training.
- Structure: We maintain a disciplined ranking system, from white belt to black belt, ensuring steady and measurable progression.
- Accessibility: We provide digital access to Google Classroom for white belts so you can review techniques at home, ensuring you never miss a step in your development.
